U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts
These did not fit my 3500 lb axle. It has been very difficult determining the correct size U-Bolts for my axle. It appears etrailer does not carry the size I need.
It is exactly as described. It seems solid. I also ordered the springs, and they appear to be solid as well. I look forward to continuing to do business with etrailer due to quality parts AND great customer service from the likes of Shawnee and the crew. Thank you!!!

I needed it quickly because on stripped on my trailer and we were getting ready to leave the state in our Wold Pup. I paid for the extra shipping and they got out and to me in 2 days. Thank you.
These are the exact bolts used by the manufacturer of my trailer. I had a spring break after 10yrs use, so am replacing the springs and all the bolts at the same time, thank you to etrailer for the springs (ordered earlier) and now the bolts/nuts, all arrived quickly and accurately, you are my first choice for all trailer parts for my 7 trailers, thank you and keep up the good work!

Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Front, 1-1/4" Rear
Bought this to replace the shackle links and hardware for an existing aluminum trailer, did not use the brackets. Bolt shafts are "flared" on the inside head end so you need a press to push them into the bracket. Otherwise, you need to crank down the nuts as you install them to seat the bolts properly.
Good kit with the necessary parts to replace leaf spring suspension. I welded the hangers rather than bolting them. The parts are not coated for the price point so you will need to paint them or they will rust immediately.

Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit
Great kit! Installed this on my 1995 Jayco Fifth Wheel and it really improved the ride height with my truck. It’s been on 2 round trips from Texas to Montana since and many other trips locally with no issues.
Our trailer was so low...that it could not make it up a low curb and some driveways - especially when fully loaded. Went with the Dexter axle flip kit. The Dexter bracket and base plate pieces are worth the extra $20-$30 compared to other similar kits - they make fitment easier, eliminate any guesswork on placement, and decrease installation time because of it. Took 2-3 relaxed pace hours for us to do single axle install. Tools required were ratchet/wrench set (13/16 deep socket worked for us for most of the bolts), cheater bar (for working those rusty bolts off), drill, angle grinder (cutter disc for oem u-bolts and leaf spring bolts that are rusted or welded in place, stripper disc for cleaning area around new bracket for welding) welder, floor jack and jack stands. We had to remove the leaf springs, as the wheel mount brackets would not fit through the openings. Was hoping we wouldn’t have to, but it was pretty simple to do. We jacked the trailer up. Removed the wheels. Removed the axle. Cleaned the axle area where new brackets go. Set the height and placement of the new Dexter brackets. We left the OEM brackets on the axle and placed the Dexter ones in the exact same position 180 degrees on the other side. Welded them on. Reinstalled leaf springs. Reinstalled axle, reinstalled wheels. Then voila! We added 6 full inches of height. Super awesome.

Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Light-Duty Trailers 1,000 lbs
Product is as described, installation was easy & performed as expected.
I ordered these to help reduce the rolling (tilting) of my 18' travel trailer that I use off-road. Also, I am hoping it will absorb some of the shock. I have added some photos of before and after installation. The installation was simple, I used 5/16" sheet metal screws instead of the bolts supplied. Time will tell if they work as expected. As you can see from the photos, I have previously added an Etrailers shock mount kit to my axle. I made custom lower mounts that I welded to the axle and used the supplied upper mounts.

2" Square Trailer U-Bolt (Qty 2)
Had a leaf spring break on my off-road trailer in Mexico. Left it at a boat yard until I received the parts from trailer & returned to replace. Only took 2 hrs to replace both leafsprinhs, shackles, bolts etc. And we were back on the road.
Melissa T Provided excellent customer service. I Would recommend to everyone use etrailer.

Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs
I really wanted to give this kit a 5 star review, however it fell short in more than one way. The parts are very nice and heavy duty looking and went together purrty good. However, when I went to grease the shackles none took grease it just came out around the fitting, so I changed the end on my grease gun thinking it was just worn out, still same problem. I had to hold the fitting on the zirk as hard as I could and finally got them to take grease, one still hasn't taken grease and not sure what I'm going to do. I left all hardware loose to this point to make sure there was no un nessesary pressure on anything hoping it would take grease easy. It's like the heads of the zirks are a size to small. After greasing everything the best I could I tightened everything up, during this process I had 2 nuts that the threads pulled out of... Just as they got tight they started to loosen up, I was using a standard length 1\2 drive craftsman ratchet, and I'm not hulk. I ended up having a few nuts and washers that worked but still this shouldn't have happened. Makes me wonder about the rest of the metals strength. Looks heavy duty but I'm starting to wonder about longevity.
After receiving my shipment yesterday, I was concerned that parts may have been missing due to the shape of the shipping box and the lack of packing material. During the installation of the shackles, the third shackle nuts/bolts stripped out when tightened by hand. The shackle had to be cut off since the nuts could not be properly tightened. I have emailed etrailer with this issue and hopefully we can resolve the issue quickly.

U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 7-1/16" Long U-Bolts
Ordered a lot of parts for a dump trailer rebuild in Sept. Didn't install some of the final parts until Christmas break. THEY SENT COARSE THREAD NUTS INSTEAD OF FINE. I ruined 2 u-bolts and need all 16 fine thread nuts. I'm outside 60 days so I was told I'm on my own. I've spent $5k+ on etrailer. I'll find some place else.......
U-Bolts and hardware seem to be good quality. Package was delivered when promised. Very satisfied with purchase. Will be buying from E-Trailer again.

Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Tall Front/Center/Rear
Shipped fast looks good will be putting it on my trailer this weekend.
I bought the spring kit to put on my home built trailer that I put my old heavy slide-in camper on. It more than met my expectations. There was no sway at 75mph or on the 5 mile trail back to camp.

Spring Seat for Typical 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 2-3/8" Diameter
It looks like it will fit my 1954 Jeep CJ3-B Dana 44 axle tube, although it is 1/8" wider than ideal. Thanks
Worked great for my camper axle

Nylon Bushing - 9/16" Inner Diameter, 11/16" Outer Diameter - 1-3/4" Long
Excellent service and quick delivery and great price, all looks good, thanks for helping me out with these items that I can't find around my area anymore,AES
Bushings quiet the trailer for a short period of time. Bushings wear out and squeaks return quicker than I expected.

Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
The wet bolts were just fine. But the "locking nuts" with the crimped edges were aweful. The 3 dimples each nut has were not useful. Many of the nuts I could use my fingers to spin them on the bolts. Never had locking pressure. I ended up going to local hardware store for much better locking nuts.
I used these "wet" bolts on my leaf spring change out. I ended up using 3 per equalizer since that seems to be the location of most of the movement during axle travel and a friends 5th wheel had 3 installed on the factory set up, so that is what I went with. I painted a yellow mark on the head of the bolt in reference to the grease hole in the shaft, so that I could install them in the direction of "least resistance" when greasing them later, after reading how some guys have to relieve pressure on their trailer in order to get the bolts to take grease. I used Mystik 6 grease mixed with anti seize when putting everything together, then gave them 2 shots of Mystik 6 after installation. (I chose Mystik 6 because we always had good results with that grease when I was in the aircraft industry and it doesn't was out.) I did notice that the grease zerks did allow grease to return out of the fitting which means the spring behind the ball isn't doing its job. That is why I rated them as "good". There are different ways to install these due to the knurled shoulder. If you have access to an impact gun you can just tighten them in with that. Pulls the knurl right in to the shackle. Overall I like the idea of having a suspension that can be greased.

Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long
Just what needed for my trailer. My old leaf springs were so rusted that I was one pot hole away from being broken down on the side of the road. These new ones are perfect.
When I asked questions about my order they answered back quickly. Everything fit like it should. Yes time will tell if the springs are good.

Rear Hanger with Bushing for Single Axle Trailer Suspensions with 1-3/4" Double Eye Springs
I think etrailer is Great. I think their customer service is fantastic. My wife and I were in Arkansas, 1200 miles from our home in Ft. Myers Florida. I replaced the original springs on our trailer with new heavy duty springs, but never changed the hangers or bolts. Our trailer was riding very poorly, we needed new hangers and bolts badly because we were headed on a very long 9000-mile trip with many stops all the way to the Monterey CA. etrailer found us a UPS Store along our route to send us the parts that we needed. Many thanks to etrailer for great parts and Fantastic customer service and for helping us with our most Wonderful Adventure!
Product was as advertised and work perfectly. I like your company and have purchased many items from you. The shipping was very good and arrived shortly after the purchase.

U-Bolt Plate - 1-3/4" Diameter Trailer Axle - 1-3/4" Wide Spring - 3/8" Bolts
Great product fast service...
I had to adjust my U-bolts a bit, but after that, the plates will do the job.

Only received 1. Parts are a 5, delivery options questionable.Can't delivery 10 pounds of metal in a paper mailer. Was tore open on the bottom. I run a mailing business and I can tell you its not that much more expensive to use a box.
My axle was maybe a 1/4" from the bottom of the trailer, so I replaced the 2" shackle with this 3-1/2" and so far so good.

Replacement Shackle Strap - 2-5/8" Long
I was very disappointed when I received the shipment from etrailer and only half the parts were there. When I made the order I was told everything was in stock and would be shipped.
Easy installation holding up well.

Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift
The trailer is a Palomino Solaire 147x. Installation was straightforward. The lift in combination with taller wheels and tires accomplished the desired ride height.
Can you believe that etrailer asks for reviews after a year? That's confidence in their products! The Torflex Life Kit for my 2014 Casita 17 Deluxe Independence has worked great. I no longer drag going through dips and up my steep driveway.

SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket - Single Axle - 3K to 5K - Overslung
It seems to stabilize the trailer a lot better than the factory equipment. Less side to side movement and it seems that inside contents are not as bounced around as before.
I made some brackets to bolt to the frame. Now I have 100% contact with the Sumo Springs. The are working extremely well!
